Several years ago when I saw Satyajit Ray getting an Oscar in his deathbed, it was a really proud moment. Today Rahman has done it again! Great job Rahman. He is surely one of the best composers India has produced, but I’d also say that he has been incredibly blessed and lucky to have success come his way. Starting from R D Burman Filmfare award in 1995 to Roja to Golden Globe in 2009, he has probably has had one of the most succesful streaks in the history of Indian Cinema. Almost all the movies he scored music for have been superhits. His musicals have run in Broadway, putting him in the same league as Elton John, Billy Joel and ABBA. Working from a Studio in Chennai, he has created wonders! It is really heartwarming to see such modest person with such modest background make it to the top. I wish him success for Oscars and lot more such awards.
